What the Story is About
Finn Garret starts to feel like he is slowly becoming invisible. After his father suddenly passes away, Finn notices his skin and hair getting lighter. This makes him believe he is truly turning completely invisible.
His mother takes him to many doctors. They think his changing looks are because he is stressed and sad about losing his dad. Things get even harder for Finn when he goes back to school. His classmates are mean to him because of how he looks.
But as time goes on, Finn begins to realize something important. Maybe his "invisibility" is not forever. He starts to think it might not be as certain as he first believed. The story explores how Finn deals with his grief and finds his way back to feeling seen.
